Chuck Rogers
Pau Ferro Classical |

|
|
|
|
|
| Pau Ferro classical guitar built by Chuck Rogers. Port Oxford Cedar top. | Headstock |
Chuck uses a tung oil finish on all of his
guitars (six coats). After the finish has hardened for several
weeks, he rubs it out with fine steel wool followed by rottenstone.
The result is a very nice semi-gloss finish that really shows off the character
of the woods.
